Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

AGM

The AGM is now only a month away and as I said several months ago it will give an interesting insight into the the new regime's agenda and "promises" for the future of the club.

I would hope that shareholders are going to obtain the openness that they were led to expect. Two items immediately come to mind that can be done to ensure attendance at the AGM is fruitful:

1. Request of full accounts in the expected case that only abbreviated accounts will be published. This I think requires 10% of shareholders and needs to be done within a time limit.

2. Is there to be a proposal put forward to be included on the agenda for a fan's representative on the board and is support being gained for this proposal to be achieved.

Now I am not going into a conspiracy theory syndrome but think it is only wise to do all possible to safeguard the fans interest. It may be that the openness promised and the ultimate of a fan's representive are already planned but if we sit back and wait for it to happen it probably will not and another year will have been wasted in developing the club into the great club it could be.

Re: AGM

I would fully expect openness and honesty from the new board and a place for a trust representative on the board. This was mentioned by Collumbine at the start of the season. The associate directors were appointed with some ease and given the Trust's support for the new board financially and otherwise, there should be no problems.

Re: AGM

Yes here's hoping that everything goes smoothly and i'd fully expect a trust rep to be invited on to the board.

I wonder what the situation is with JDB, has he resigned yet? He's been going to Cowden games and sitting with their chairman so I assume he's back home now but surely he's breaking the rules so long as he is still technically a director of EFFC, although that should also come to an end at the AGM and I doubt the club will want to waste anymore time on the little turd.
